“Paradise” Debuts On The Nielsen Streaming Charts
Nielsen has announced its top 10 streaming charts for the United States from January 27th, 2025, to February 2nd 2025. There are four different charts: Top 10 Originals, Acquired Shows, Movies, and a combined total chart.
Disney continues to dominate the acquired and overall charts, with Disney’s biggest hits “Grey’s Anatomy”, Bob’s Burgers”, “The Rookie”, “Bluey” and “Family Guy”, making up the majority of these charts for Hulu and Hulu On Disney+.
Disney’s new original drama series, “Paradise,” had a strong debut on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+. This highlights why Disney is using the release strategy of dropping multiple episodes at once to get audiences hooked. This strategy allows for a bump in viewership when it’s being measured by minutes watched rather than the number of viewers.
“Moana” also keeps pulling in younger viewers who are watching it on repeat and will likely continue to do so until “Moana 2” arrives on the platform.
